Back and Native Seeds

Today we were able to nail down the seeds we needed for our watershed project that we put in last month. We purchased a pound of native plant seeds from Native Seeds/SEARCH to plant in the directional channels that we put in. These channels direct water away from a retaining wall and are redirected to beds where we have planted native trees. This seed will help to control the erosion of the directional channels that we put in by plants taking root and holding the soil in place. And, because they are native plants to the Sonoran Desert they will require no additional water. Win, win.

Today's quote is from Ed Abbey:

"Water, water, water... There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount, a perfect ratio of water to rock, water to sand, insuring that wide free open, generous spacing among plants and animals, homes and towns and cities, which makes the arid West so different than any other part of the nation. There is no lack of water here unless you try to establish a city where no city should be."
